IMO, Yudo good, very good, Hapkido....not so good.
Ho Sin Shul is basically Yudo (Judo) techniques added to TSD or other TMA. If they are being taught by a Yudo BB and you are doing randori it is probably good. If it is done kata style, probably not so great.
Ho Shin Sul is a mandatory part of TKD curriculum and covers "self defense" (which is what it means translated), it incorporates freeing yourself from locks and ground controls, fending off dangerous attacks with or without weapons etc. etc. It may look like krav maga, hapkido, bas rutten tape or 1970s kungfu movie though depending from the school, traditionally it is closer to Hapkido in it's appearance, a lot of wristlocks etc.
